Judgement
The Judgement card shows a horned Forest Mother whose red flute awakens sleeping leshy kin, symbolizing a summons to remember and reclaim identity. Upright, it urges you to answer your calling, review your past without self-hatred, make amends, and accept a second chance toward a truer life. It favors honest accountability, the renewal of vows or names, and decisive choices that have been delayed. Reversed, it warns of avoidance, doubt, guilt, or clinging to a past identity that keeps you buried, and counsels pause, listening, forgiveness where possible, and release.

Visual description
A crowned, antlered woman, entwined with vines, sits within the hollow of a great tree and plays a red flute. Dense ferns and ivy spill from the bark while winter snow lies beyond the tree. Small green, childlike forest sprites with tiny antlers stir among the roots, some lifting their arms, one curled like a newborn. Twisting roots frame the white ground below.
Meaning
In this deck, the horned woman of the tree evokes the Forest Mother of Slavic tales, rousing the leshy kin from their winter sleep. Her flute is the summons that penetrates the snowbound world, and those who hear it rise from roots and remember who they are.
Upright
Upright, the card asks you to answer your calling, to review the path behind without self-hatred, and to accept the second chance that waits like spring under snow. It favors honest accountability, making amends, and a decisive step into a truer life. Old vows may be renewed, names reclaimed, and a long-delayed choice finally made.
Reversed
Reversed, the music is still there but you turn away, tangled in doubt, guilt, or fear of change. Procrastination, harsh self-judgment, or clinging to a past identity keeps you cold and buried.
Advice
Pause, listen, and let the inner trumpet—here a woodland flute—cut through the noise. Forgive what can be forgiven, release what cannot, and rise.
